RE: Parting out Mopars?

["Earl H. " <earlh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,

4dr cars are becoming more common. One piece on a 4dr Mopar that is 
impossiable to find if you need one is the rear window glass. It is
different 
than the 2dr's, and no one saves them. For sure save that for some poor soul

trying to find one. 4dr door panels and arm rest, and sill plates are good
pieces 
people have a hard time finding.

Hi all,

What are your thoughts on parting out car? What to keep for saving / selling
and what to toss?

I'm thinking the front fenders, hood, deck lid, bumpers, grill, instrument
cluster, steering wheel, lenses, and wiring harness, steering box, maybe
engine (if big block), trans, 8.75 chunk (peg leg) are keepers.

I know it depends on the car (a Sport Fury vs a 4 door Fury, for example).

Some stuff has NO market, I guess. For example, I have 4 doors with glass
from a '64 Plymouth that I parted out 5 years ago. I've tried to sell them
for next to nothing but never got any hint of takers. I guess I'll pull the
non-metal stuff for the dump and pile the metal for a scrap-steel scale. 
 
I don't think there is a market for interior stuff, like 4 door seats. 

Candidates: A '63 Dodge 440 4 door, 318 AT, that was hit in the back, but
could be fixed pretty easily; a '65 Barracuda "S" very  rusty, 4 speed 273,
that I already started parting out; a 1962 Fury 4 door that rolled. I also
have a '62 Dart 440 2 door HT that is mostly complete (wrong 318) but very
rusty; and a '64 Dodge truck I've been half-trying to sell, but may just
part out.

Thoughts appreciated. 

Thanks,
Gary H.
